I'll try to space out better... just didn't wanna take up
too much space and make the entire page harder to navigate.

I definitely agree that she had some good critiques,
despite my disagreements as well.

"Inverted Liberation Theory" is a good way to describe
Barndt... I'd even call it a Confinement Theory lol.
"How To Make A Good Negro Slave: New Refined Edition" even.

I actually took into full account that she was a
pastor and, admittedly, found it quite surprising that
she had useful contributions, initially... but then
I wasn't surprised that she fell back into the trap
of trying to save white people. I found myself thinking
"I should've known."

That last line is exactly why I say we have to
totally forget about what white people believe
and focus on the actions, because that's all that
matters. When we formulate plans that are based
on changing actions, those drastically differ
from plans based on changing beliefs and are
far more effective. Take us for instance, we
can believe white people are inferior if we
want to, but that doesn't affect them, because
we can't systemically act on it. Their system
places consequences on our ACTIONS. If we don't
do the same, we're trying to win a fight without
fighting back, imo.
